Needs a real title, suggestions?  other than that, its just a rough draft.
I quiver as this foriegn skin touches me
I can tell already it is not to be
Damn it for not being the skin of the one I no longer see

I stare blankly into these new eyes
The fact they inspire nothing, is no surprise
Damn them for not belonging to the one who still makes my heart fly

I kiss lips that feel like a strangers
No rush goes through me, no sense of excitement or danger
Damn it for not feeling like it did with the one who left my heart endangered

I hear goodnight as if in a foriegn tongue
I don't feel safe or comfortable, like a security net was sprung
Damn it for not coming from the person I thought was the one

I am asked by someone alien to me to be their boyfriend
I feel sick all over, here it will have to end
Because damn it, my love for another I still hope to mend

Yo Adamjames72,

Don't post rough drafts.  At least don't admit to it.  

We're not here to write your poems, or think up titles.

Bobby
